‘Happy’ Aguero staying put

Man City star rubbishes exit rumours

Sergio Aguero has distanced himself from transfer speculation by stating that he will be a Manchester City player next season.

The Argentine striker – who is away with his country at the World Cup – has been heavily linked with both Barcelona and Real Madrid in recent weeks, with the La Liga duo both thought to be willing to pay the massive fee it would take to lure him away from the Premier League champions.

Los Blancos have been most strongly alligned with Aguero amid talk that they want either him or Luis Suarez to lead their attack, while Barca have been mooted as suitors as they set about a major summer reshuffle on the back of an underwhelming 2013/14.
